Austin finally done - What a heroic performance. 13 innings!

I'll stay ... but only cuz Wood is still in. Win or lose, he's now responsible for the greatest pitching performance by a 'Horn that I've ever seen. He's been incredible.
Belfiore leads off with a one-pitch chopper to Loy, who fields it cleanly and throws to first for out No.1.
Another first-pitch swing nets a single for Butera. Man on, one out.
Wood beans Lawrence to put runners on first and second with one out.
Spenser Payne to pinch hit for Sudol, who was 0-for-7 on the day.
Conference on the mound. Wood is finally coming out after 169 pitches and 14Ks in 13 full innings of relief pitching; Austin Dicharry coming in with two runners on and only one out.
Mike Augustine to pinch hit. He's quickly down to Dicharry, 0-2.
Grounder to first, Clark flips weakly to second and Loy does a fine job of scooping a one-hopper for out No.2. Looks like we benefited from a "neighborhood" call. Loy very close to coming off the bag. Runners on the corners with two away.
Dicharry starts off Melchionda with a pair of strikes. Count goes to 2-2. Melchionda answers with a DEEP fly ball to center. Rowe climbs on his bike and runs it down to just outside of the warning track for out No.3. Holy ****.
To the 21st, now officially the longest game in UT baseball history ...

Johnson out to the mound. Discharry will come in.
Wood with the greatest performance ever. He may well take a freaking loss for it but he was absolutely incredible. 13 innings of 2 hit ball and if his teammates had given him even a semblance of support at the bat he would have gotten a win.

Can someone explain why we lifted Keyes for a pitch hitter when he's our only power hitter?

I'm getting leg cramps just watching this.
The major league record for longest game is 26 innings in 1920 with Brooklyn vs. Boston and ended 1 - 1.

How many of our 21 lead off hitters tried to drag bunt their way on?

Not ALL of BC's pitchers are this good, right?

Laufer still toeing the rubber for the Eagles. Nine-hole hitter up.
Hernandez pops up behind the plate. B.C. catcher settles under it for out No.1. Tucker up.
Tucker stares at strike three. Again, we're downright passive at the plate. We're looking for walks, not battling for hits.
Another pitching change for the Eagles ... Chris Kowalski to relieve Laufer. His numbers aren't good, but he only needs one out to escape the inning.
Belt fouls Kowalski's first pitch back. Kowalski then misses outside, ball one. Next pitch is lifted foul; count goes to 1-2. Two balls from Kowalski fills the count. After fouling off the first payoff pitch, the next one misses wide and Belt is on first with a two-out walk. Torres up.
Torres takes strike one on the outside corner. Pitch misses outside for ball one and Belt easily steals second.
Torres stares at strike No.2, then grounds harmlessly to first. Another easy out with a runner in scoring position. I believe that's the third or fourth time Torres has failed to come through in such a situation. There's been so many, though, it's hard to keep track.

The numbers for the BC pitchers don't matter. We are making them all look like Cy Young.
